"Engrossing....[Cohan] gives us in these pages a chilling,

almost minute-by-minute account of the 10, vertigo-inducing days

that one year ago revealed Bear Stearns to be a flimsy house of

cards in a perfect storm....He does a deft job of explicating the

underlying reasons that put Bear Stearns in peril in the first

place....turns complex Wall Street maneuverings into high drama

that is gripping — and almost immediately comprehensible — to the

lay reader....riveting, edge-of-the-seat reading"

--Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times

"Cohan vividly documents the mix of arrogance, greed, recklessness,

and pettiness that took down the 86 year old brokerage house and

then the entire economy. It's a page-turner in the tradition of the

1990 Barbarians at the Gate by Bryan Burrough and John Heylar,

offering both a seemingly comprehensive understanding of the

business and wide access to insiders....hard to put down,

especially thanks to its dishy, often profane, quotes from

insiders" --BusinessWeek

"Masterfully reported....[Cohan] has turned into one of our most

able financial journalists....he deploys not only his hands-on

experience of this exotic corner of the financial industry but also

a remarkable gift for plain-spoken explanation...the other great

strength of this important book is the breadth and skill of the

author's interviews...Cohan does a brilliant job of sketching in

the eccentric, vulgar, greedy, profane and coarse individuals who

ignored all these warnings to their own profit and the ruin of so

many others. It's impossible to do justice to his reportorial

detail in a brief review..." -- Los Angeles Times

"A riveting blow-by-blow account of the days leading up to the

government-backed shotgun wedding (to JPM)." -- The

Economist

"A masterly reconstruction of Bear Stearns implosion--a tumultuous

episode in Wall Street history that still reverberates throughout

our economy today....meticulous reporting.....first drafts of

history don't get much better than this" --Bloomberg

A blistering narrative account of the negligence and greed that

pushed all of Wall Street into chaos and the country into a

financial crisis.

At the beginning of March 2008, the monetary fabric of Bear

Stearns, one of the world’s oldest and largest investment banks,

began unraveling. After ten days, the bank no longer existed, its

assets sold under duress to rival JPMorgan Chase. The effects would

be felt nationwide, as the country suddenly found itself in the

grip of the worst financial mess since the Great Depression.

William Cohan exposes the corporate arrogance, power struggles, and

deadly combination of greed and inattention, which led to the

collapse of not only Bear Stearns but the very foundations of Wall

Street.
